Here are some of the many good things to eat at the reception, prepared by the Restaurant Beausejour. Those tiny cherry tomatoes on skewers have been cooked and then dipped in sesame seeds - delicious!

In addition, guests were offered a choice of many different drinks including Pernod and Kir Royale - champagne flavoured with a syrup. There were four flavours but I can only remember two: Cassis and Blackberry.

I was truly touched when the mother of the bride invited me to join in the celebrations and have a drink. A special moment that made me feel even more part of this village I love so much.
